Royals Capture MIAC Championship
by Joe Lindholm
The Bethel Royals Men's basketball team kept their season alive by taking
the MIAC crown with two victories. The
first one came in the semi-final game against
St. Thomas which Bethel won 74-71 in
overtime on a last second shot by Senior
Keith "The Doctor" Newman. Bethel then

claimed the crown with a hard fought 73-70
win over Gustavus at St. Peter.
The Royals' road to the play-offs
was a grueling one as they needed to wi n two
out of three ball games in the last week of the
MIAC schedule. Monday night they went
up against the St. Olaf team which had been
playing pretty well, despite losing their center
Mike Moes to a knee injury. The Royals
took charge from the opening tip andjumped
out to a quick 10 point lead. Coach Palke
was able to rest all of his starters as everyone
got a chance to play in a convincing 106-67
victory. Bethel's bench scored 59 points to
St. Olaf s 18. The highlight of the evening
was the 15 points that were scored by Junior
Greg Peterson in a span of about eight minutes. Sophomore Greg Peterson also had 10
points coming off the bench.
The Royals then traveled to St.
Thomas for a rematch. St. Thomas had beaten
the Royals in overtime at Bethel earlier in
the season. Both teams played very tough in
a 64-61 St. Thomas victory. Newman had
three point attempt with :03 left, but it
bounced off. This game focused on one of
the great match-ups of the year, that being
between Bethel Junior Dale Turnquist and
St. Thomas' Scott Thompson. Turnquist
ended up with 25 points and Thompson had
27. Freshman Jason Mekelburg had 10 points
and Newman had 16. The game served an
even bigger purpose because Bethel proved
that they could play right with St. Thomas.
With one win
and a loss, the Royals
Parents Night match-up
with St. John's was
key. St. John's had been
knocked out of the playoff picture on
Wednesday by
Hamline. Hamline was
in a tie with Bethel as
both teams had a 11-8
record. The tie-breaker
system favored Bethel
so a win over St. John's
would clinch a playoff
spot. A capacity crowd
watched St. John's get
an early lead as it was
obvious that the Royals were cold. But they
started to shift the momentum with a run in
the middle of the first
half. The teams took a
42-42 tie to the locker
room.Inthesecondhalf
the Royals came out
and dominated jumping out to a lead that was as big as 14 points.

home game; Dale Turnquist, Terry Nelson
and Dave DeWidt all received standing ova-

Become Part of Bethel Norm

Bethel's Program in Adult College
Education (P.A.C.E.), which was started in
February 1989 as a means for adults who
have previously met the General Education
requirements to get their Baccalaureate degree, is in the process of adding two new
majors. In addi lion to the two which already
exist, Nursing and Organizational Studies, a
business degree will be added in April and a
pilot program offering a Master's degree in
Emotional and Behavioral Disorders
(E.B.D.) will be starting sometime this year.
P.A.C.E., which started in February of 1989, now has approximately 200
students enrolled in the 15 and 18 month
programs. Almost all of the professors are
regular full-time Bethel faculty, with only a
few adjunct teachers.
The staff tries to stay accessible to
students. P.A.C.E. PortfolioAdvisorSandie
McNeel says the students are "encouraged

to call, unload, give remarks about the
program...they know we're always here."
Assistant Professor of Business
Dave Danforth says of the program, "I feel
really good about it. It's a different service
for us. It's for people who are at a point
where they need to return to do this."
When students first come into the
program, McNeel says they typically have
two responses, and often their feelings are a
mixture of these. "They are either anxious
and don't know if they can do it...orthey feel
that they are ready now—(hat this is my
time." She says that students are encouraged
to cut back on their outside responsibilities
during their schooling. She feels that "There
is a time for every season," and that the
students need to focus and prioritize.
According to Dircctorof P.A.C.E.
Wendy Balzer, "The program is very work
intensive because it's accelerated. It's a real
commitment to time." She says that the
students have to be good at time management
prior to starting the program.
McNeel agrees. "We are very
straightforward as they [the prospective
P.A.C.E. students] inquire," she says.
McNeel says students are told right away
that they will have a minimum of 15 to 20
hours of work each week in addition to the
four hours of class. There are no tests,
however, there is a "huge amount of writing" as they write integrative papers.
